Early 19th century mansion house in Angers
Location
Capital of the Anjou region, Angers has good motorway links providing easy access to and from Paris, Nantes and Rennes; the French TGV train makes it possible to reach the capital in 90 minutes. Return flights to Southampton are currently possible three times a week from its airport.
Practical aspects aside, Angers is renowned for the richness of its architectural heritage: throughout the ages famous architects have contributed to the construction of public and private buildings.
A tourist town on the route to the Loire chateaux, classified a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and situated in the heart of the Loire valley, Angers is also a young town with 30,000 students
Description
This mansion house, situated in the centre of town, was built in the 1820’s on a 5,703 sq ft plot of land.
On the one side, the facade looks on to one of the wonderful, wide avenues in the town, on the other a pleasant, quiet, 3,767 sq ft garden where the hustle and bustle of the city can be forgotten.
This yellow freestone building spans four stories.
It was totally restored inside and out fifteen or so years ago: roof, rendering, electric wiring, gas central heating, plumbing, bathroom and toilet facilities are, therefore, all recent.
These works were carried out in keeping with the numerous original features: magnificent suspended oak winding stairway which leads to the two floors upstairs, marble fireplaces, oak wood herringbone parquet flooring in the reception rooms and parquet flooring laid parallel fashion upstairs, mouldings on the ceiling in the main lounge, wood panelling on the dining room walls, etc.
Approx. 4,305 sq ft of living space (excluding the basement):
Ground floor: entrance hall, adjoining lounge and dining room, study, library, kitchen and toilet.
First floor: four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a linen room.
Second floor: six bedrooms with shower, toilet.
Three rooms and a wine cellar in the basement.
Approx. 3,767 sq ft garden.
Our opinion
Ideally situated in the town centre without being exposed to its hustle and bustle, this mansion house is well suited to those looking for a pleasant family home. The adjoining reception rooms leading on to the garden will satisfy those wanting to entertain friends.
It would be possible to continue renting 6 student bedrooms without compromising family privacy, provided that the new owners agree to the shared use of the entrance hall and superb stairway.
